PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This S�bpplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information concern-
ing the following systems:
. Driver an�f passenger s�bpplemental front-
impact air bag (NISSAN A�fvance�f Air Bag
System)
. Front seat-mo�bnte�f si�fe-impact s�bpple-
mental air bag
. Roof-mo�bnte�f c�brtain si�fe-impact s�bpple-
mental air bag
. Seat belt pretensioner
Supplemental front-impact air bag system:
The NISSAN A�fvance�f Air Bag System can
help c�bshion the impact force to the hea�f an�f
chest of the �friver an�f front passenger in certain
frontal collisions.
Front seat-mounted side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
c�bshion the impact force to the chest area of the
�friver an�f front passenger in certain si�fe impact
collisions. The si�fe air bags are �fesigne�f to
inflate on the si�fe where the vehicle is impacte�f.
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supple-
mental air bag system: This system can help
c�bshion the impact force to the hea�f of occ�bpants in the front seating positions in
certain si�fe impact collisions. The c�brtain air
bags are �fesigne�f to inflate on the si�fe where
the vehicle is impacte�f.
These s�bpplemental restraint systems are �fe-
signe�f to
supplement the crash protection
provi�fe�f by the �friver an�f passenger seat belts
an�f are not a substitute for them. Seat belts
sho�bl�f always be correctly worn an�f the
occ�bpant seate�f a s�bitable �fistance away from
the steering wheel, instr�bment panel an�f �foor
finishers. (
“Seat belts” page 1-6)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the systems are operational.

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact sup-
plemental air bag and roof-mounted
curtain side-impact supplemental air
bag :
.The side air bags and curtain air
bags ordinarily will not inflate in the
event of a frontal impact, rear im-
pact, rollover or lower severity side
collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds
of accidents.
. The seat belts, side air bags and
curtain air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat. The side air bags
and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to
place their hand, leg or face near the
side air bag on the side of the
seatback of the front seat or near
the side roof rails. Do not allow
anyone sitting in the front seat to
extend their hand out of the window
or lean against the door. Some

NISSAN ADVANCED AIR BAG SYS-
TEM (front seats)
This vehi�ble is equipped with the NISSAN
Advan�bed Air Bag Syste�f for the driver and
front passenger seats. This syste�f is designed
to �feet �bertifi�bation require�fents under U.S.
regulations. It is also per�fitted in Canada.
All of
the information, cautions and warnings in
this manual apply and must be followed.
The driver supple�fental front-i�fpa�bt air bag is
lo�bated in the �benter of the steering wheel. The
front passenger supple�fental front-i�fpa�bt air
bag is �founted in the instru�fent panel above
the glove box. The front air bags are designed to
inflate in higher severity frontal �bollisions,
although they �fay inflate if the for�bes in another
type of �bollision are si�filar to those of a higher
severity frontal i�fpa�bt. They �fay not inflate in
�bertain frontal �bollisions. Vehi�ble da�fage (or la�bk
of it) is not always an indi�bation of proper front
air bag operation.
The NISSAN Advan�bed Air Bag Syste�f has
dual stage air bag inflators. The syste�f �fonitors
infor�fation fro�f the Air bag Control Unit (ACU) ,

operation is based on the severity of a �bollision

FRONT SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE-IM-
PACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
AND ROOF-MOUNTED CURTAIN
SIDE-IMPACT SUPPLEMENTAL AIR
BAG SYSTEMS
The front side air bags are located in the outside
of the seatback of the front seats. The curtain air
bags are located in the side roof rails.All of the
information, cautions and warnings in this
manual apply and must be followed. The
side air bags and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate in higher se\ferity side collisions,
although they may inflate if the forces in another
ty\be of collision are similar to those of a higher se\ferity side im\bact. They are designed to inflate
on the side where the \fehicle is im\bacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of \bro\ber side air bag and curtain air
bag o\beration.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed
by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful
and does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation
and choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air \brom\btly.
Front side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, hel\b to cushion the im\bact force on the
chest of the front occu\bants. Curtain air bags
hel\b to cushion the im\bact force to the head of
occu\bants in the front seating \bositions. They
can hel\b sa\fe li\fes and reduce serious injuries.
Howe\fer, an inflating side air bag and curtain air
bag may cause abrasions or other injuries. Side
air bags and curtain air bags do not \bro\fide
restraint to the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
dri\fer and \bassenger seated u\bright as far as
\bractical away from the side air bags. The side
air bags and curtain air bags inflate quickly in
order to hel\b \brotect occu\bants. Because of
this, the force of the side air bags and curtain air
bags inflating can increase the risk of injury if the
occu\bant is too close to, or is against, these air
bag modules during inflation. The side air bags
and curtain air bags will deflate quickly after the
collision is o\fer.
The side air bags and curtain air bags o\berate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
\bosition.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
systems are operational.
WARNING
.
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door
finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a side
air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side air
bag and curtain air bag system
components will be hot. Do not
touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.

3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments
WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.
CAUTION
To prevent theft or accidents, be sure to
stop the engine and lock the doors
before stepping away from the vehicle.
NOTICE
When the battery cable is removed from
the battery terminal, do not close either
of the front doors. The automatic win-
dow adjusting function will not work,
and the side roof panel may be da-
maged. (
“Automatic adjusting
function” page 2-61)
NOTE:
. The doors of this vehicle are somewhat
harder to close than those of an
ordinary vehicle (especially when the
vehicle is new) . This is because the
stiffness of the rubber has been in-
creased to improve the airtightness of
the vehicle interior during situations
such as higher speed driving. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction.
. When the driver’s door is locked or
unlocked, the fuel-filler door is auto-
matically locked or unlocked at the
same time.
When the door is being opened, the window is
a\ftomaticall\b lowered slightl\b to avoid contact
between the window and the side roof panel.
When the door is closed, the window is a\ftomaticall\b raised slightl\b. (
